In mathematics, a constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change, because it does not contain any modifiable variables. For example, in the quadratic polynomial x^{2}+2x+3, \ the 3 is a constant term.

Answer: A fixed value.

Step-by-step explanation: In Algebra, a constant is a number is by itself, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number.

Example: in "x + 5 = 9", 5 and 9 are constants.
